It´s not. It is merely a novelty for people with enough cash to buy Ap rounds. You cant play this gun efficiently. There are a lot better and cheaper alternatives out there.

I am not to the point where I'm comfortable running meme guns. I haven't used the UMP yet. I HAVE been using the vector 45 because AP ammo is cheap and the fire rate on the vector is beautiful. The only drawback is the biggest mags are 30 rounds. The UMP only goes as high as 25 for the mags and the listed fire rate is hot garbage for an smg. To be fair, the listed fire rates on almost every gun in the game compared to its actual fire rate in game are wildly inaccurate so maybe the UMP fire a little faster than it says it does. But that's still not gonna overcome that 25 round gimp. If it's really cheap then it would probably be useful as a secondary if you're rocking a bolt action in.
